For the past 20 years, I’ve invited everyone to our annual Missions Barnabas banquet by stating that it is time again for our annual banquet. This year, I want to say it loudly with as much excitement as possible: IT’S TIME FOR OUR ANNUAL MISSION BARNABAS BANQUET!! We're eager for you to experience what has happened, is happening, and is about to happen. We can't wait to share exciting updates and future plans with you! This has been the first year our new facilities have been 100% open, and we have seen an increase and expansion in all areas. Seeing the explosion in ministry, facilities, and partnerships will overwhelm you. You will be blessed to see how your prayers, encouragement, and support have helped us accomplish amazing things! We are also beaming to tell you about the future plans that await us in 2025. Get Your Tickets HERE! We had to change the regular week and date for this year due to the Presidential Election and availability of the Colleyville Center. So this year’s banquet will be Thursday, November 14 at 6:00 PM (doors open). This year’s menu is from Spring Creek Barbeque, ending with their famous cobbler for dessert. We will be blessed again by several of our Kenyan staff and team. Also, for those attending the banquet, Carroll and Myrna Sprenger will have a table there for anyone who would like to donate books, musical instruments, laptops, computers, unlocked phones, pictures, etc. to be shipped to Kenya in December. Please mark your calendars as well as purchase your tickets ; $30.00 per person or sponsor a table for your family, friends, or guests. See you in a month! Come hungry; bring a friend, some books, and your checkbook or credit card! Ronnie and Debbie Matheny  Get Your Tickets HERE!

March was a very happening month at CMM. It started with a Leadership Conference with 420+ pastors and leaders, with 50% of these leaders being their first time to come to CMM. On top of that, we had leaders from 6 different nations (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Congo, and South Sudan. Uganda and South Sudan were represented by large numbers in their delegations. We gave brand new Strong’s Concordances to 174 first-time senior leaders. Watch their appreciation for this blessing in this video . In addition, we gave a total of 3,132 books away. Many thanks to an awesome group of conference speakers who brought heaven down, and SO many lives were touched, changed, encouraged, and empowered. Our staff spent 1-2 hours in a debrief after the conference just reading testimonies. We rejoiced, laughed, cried, and celebrated what God had done in so many lives! We were so blessed by Dr. Murphy Matheny, Dr.Brick Cliff, Pastor Dustin Aguilar, Hunter Howe, and Kathy Barton, in addition to our own Bishop Joel Chola and Evg. John Magangi as well as the CMM Praise and Worship Team. We were already pumped before the conference started as ‘Count Me In’ had just finished a 2-day outreach in a very poor area of the city, and 4-5,000 youth attended. The group from Wellspring Church literally just arrived from their flight into Kenya and went straight to the outreach. Several thousand youth were saved, renewed their commitment, returned to the Lord, and many lined up for prayer to be set free from drug addiction.

The past 6 weeks have been a whirlwind, starting with our annual banquet, and then traveling with 10 Kenyans to several churches and groups in Texas and Mississippi. The Kenyans turned every place we visited upside down. We had powerful services as we shared the 2023 update and the songs they sang, brought the house down everywhere. During this season, we were believing God for an outpouring of support for several major projects: buying concordances, shipping a sea container, buying needed items for CMM, scholarship funds for students waiting for help, travel expenses, and finishing paying for several projects that arose from opening. So far in this fund-raising season, we/you have bought 1,004 concordances, paid for finishing immediate projects, bought kitchen utensils, musical instruments, and funds for some scholarship help, and we load and ship the next sea container on Dec. 28th (if you live in the Metroplex we will load from 7am-1:00pm…snacks, lunch and a heavenly award provided). This response comes a couple of months after funds were given to buy our transformer and build a small building to house it as well as purchasing a 20ft. container equipped and customized into men's and women’s public toilets that CMM desperately needed. In this season of Thanksgiving, our hearts are full of thanks for each of you and your heart for Africa, CMM, and the part you play in enlarging this vision. From Debbie and I and all of our CMM team, we wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Let’s all buckle up for a great 2024 and as always, may the Lord enlarge the borders of your tent! Ronnie and Debbie PS…If you have been contemplating where you might do some year-end giving…we have the place. We are still hoping for more funding to scholarship several more students for the Bible college (25 waiting for help), extra funds to bless our staff during this season as well as purchase a commercial dryer before the next rainy season.

CMM is a trend setting ministry not only for the way things are done but the impact that you are having on pastors and communities. The materials that are given, the powerful moments of fellowship, mind opening knowledge, illuminating teachings and spirit building workshops, really have a striking impact upon pastors here.

Pastor Mwinamo

The food, drinks, music, preaching, and caring for me like a new baby being born is great. They provided books, even the Sunday School books which are a great help t the children and all the families. This is a place where I saw the Lord Jesus filled in the church. The spiritual growth which CMM has done for me is so great that only God knows.

Bishop Tiphy

I have never seen anything like this in my life and ministry. May God open great doors to you people so that you can reach many in Africa and beyond.
